Each second of my four years, two months, and seven days in the attic dragged on forever, and nothing ever changed. But outside the attic, everything changed, and so violently fast. Destruction and devastation for all of us, whether we were in the attic or out.

About This Quote

This quote is an amazing one. It really gives you a sense of how strange and contradictory time can feel. Time is always moving forward, but it seems to move so slowly. As strange as that sounds, it’s true.

We all act like time is the same for everyone. People don’t realize that everyone’s experience of time is unique and different, and that everyone’s experience of time can be different from their own friends or family who have a completely different experience of time. This quote highlights the fact that there are so many different ways to experience time, and that no two people’s experiences are exactly the same.

It also highlights the fact that time feels so long when you are in it. Like being stuck inside an attic or trapped in a room with no windows or doors, you feel like you are never going to get out, even though everything outside appears to be normal.
